Michael Vorburger commented on FINERACT-1070:
---------------------------------------------
I'm reopening this, because looking more closely into it, I'm realizing that my
initial quick fix was actually wrong, as per FINERACT-1280. There are actually
2 separate problems:
1. That {{llegalStateException: The mail session is already initialized}} is
caused by doing {{setSslSmtpPort()}} AFTER {{getMailSession()}}. Doing it the
other way around probably works better. BUT from what little I understand of
https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-email, just from looking around the
source code a little bit, I think it's actually better to just replace
{{email.getMailSession().getProperties().put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable",
"true");}} by {{email.setStartTLSRequired(true);}} anyway, because should do
the exact same thing, as far as I can tell (check for yourself).
2. The original PR used {{setSslSmtpPort()}} VS {{setSmtpPort()}}. That... was
most probably actually wrong, from what I understand from Apache Commons
Email's JavaDoc, and a quick web search. There are, apparently, confusingly two
different protocols for encrypted SMTP - an older (plain SSL?) and a newer one
(TLS over SMPT?). {{setSslSmtpPort()}} is for when {{setSSLOnConnect()}},
whereas with {{setStartTLSRequired()}} one should use the regular
{{setSmtpPort()}}.
https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/1541/files is probably be the right way
to do this - would you like to test it? Again, I've made this fix just based on
reading source code, not actually tested it out myself.
